For a classroom setting I would suggest OTG (http://www.otg-nc.com/),
they are a known contributor and I have heard very good things about
their classes from my smaller customers (my bigger customers use us ;)).

Sincerely,

I went to the 5 day class at OTG that Chander taught. I thought he was 
really good and the price couldn't be beat. I was a total novice and 
found the class challenging. I'm not sure how one might feel if they had 
as much experience as you.

Chander at OTG is an excellent instructor, and OTG's materials are 
excellent.  The PosgresQL Database Administration class does start at 
the beginning, but the Performance Tuning class has more advanced 
topics, and there may be another advanced administration class in the 
works.   I highly recommend him.
